Mulumbu Top Priority During International Break

Roy Hodgson has said Youssouf Mulumbu will be watched closely over the international break in an effort to improve his muscle issues.

Speaking to the Birmingham Mail Hodgson admitted he was worried over the muscle issues that Mulumbu is having at the moment as he almost missed the Arsenal encounter.

'We have wrapped him in cotton wool, he was prepared to train on Thursday and Friday but I didn't allow him to to make sure he'd be 100% sure of playing. He can't afford to keep getting muscular injuries.'
